Road Bikes
Below £1000

Thanks to advances in Road Bike technology and design, £1,000 buys you a great deal of road bike in 2024. At Westbrook Cycles we really like finding road bikes at this price point, the price of £1,000 is ideal for those who are getting into the sport of road cycling, and is also the perfect price point for those who are buying a road bike and do not know how much time they will be able to spend in the saddle.

Bikes at this price point can be described as beginner road bikes, these bikes are also the perfect ‘second bike’ for those looking for a winter road bike, and also make excellent commuter bikes for those looking for a fast and efficient commute, whilst also owning something good enough for blasting about on a weekend.

At the £1,000 price point, you can expect a road bike with an alloy frame - and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. Although the benefits of carbon fibre in the world of road bikes is well known, advanced alloys and materials provide a great and resilient frame choice. Although most road bikes at the £1,000 price point have alloy frames, there are road bikes within the range which do have carbon fibre frames.

Almost all of the road bikes that we supply at this price point, have carbon fibre forks - which provide huge benefits over alloy forks, for many riders at this price point, carbon fibre forks do a great job and provide all of the compliance and comfort/performance benefits required of a bike at this price point.

The term road bike also covers a number of different riding styles and models - and at this price point, all are covered. There’s race bias road bikes such as the Cube Attain Pro, which retails at £899 - similarly, there’s the Scott Speedster 50 Road Bike which is another great option for those wanting a road bike with decent levels of pace behind it. There’s also some really great flat bar road bikes, which whilst still providing an efficient way of cycling - provide a more upright and more comfortable seating position, which is more suited to many riders who are not looking for out and out pace, this style of road bike really suits this budget, as a bike which is designed for those looking for an all rounder. Some great £1000 options for flat bar road bikes include the Giant Fastroad 2 and the Cube Nulane One Flat Bar Road Bike.

Bikes at this price point are also equipped with features you only ever used to see on high end road bikes, all of these bikes have disc brakes as standard, and many also have integrated cabling - which provides a much more premium and slick look to the bike.

All of these bikes have been handpicked from the world’s best road bike brands, such as Scott, Cannondale, Giant and Cube. All of these bikes provide reliable and high performance out in the real world, and we only ever stock bikes that we know provide great value for money. We are continually looking at pricing so we can discount road bikes wherever possible.
